In the Super Mario Brothers comics Lakitu is seen as a sneaky thief. He steals all sorts of things from Bowser and hides them in his cloud. However, since he's such a suck up to the Koopa Troop, Bowser never suspects that the loyal Lakitu could be a thief. At one point Lakitu even manages to steal Luigi's clothes and dons the green hat, but because Lakitu is being so nice to Luigi, he doesn't even notice.
